This Gaming Laptop Deal is Hard to Ignore!

[@ZaneofAustin]

Always adjust the fan curve for the laptop before gaming. or set it to gaming mode or whatever so the fans ramp up properly. otherwise if it's waiting to ramp the fans up until you hit 99C, then you're still losing performance. fans should be at 100% @ anytime over 80C.

[@ZaneofAustin]

and remember for most laptops the GPU and CPU share a heatsync, so allowing the fans to work more, will improve the cpu and gpu.

The nearest Micro center to me is a three and a half hour drive each way, in Atlanta Ga. I hate driving in Atlanta, not to mention the driving time, so no Micro Center in store deals, and many of their products are for in store pickup only, and cannot be purchased online. For electronics, especially computers, my choices are Newegg, or Amazon. Thank you for all the teasing, and disappointment Micro Center. Until there is a store near me, Birmingham, Montgomery, Oxford, you will not be getting my business.

I got the 15.6” model, i7 11800H cpu, 3070 GPU (85w) and it’s very good at 1080p. Cost £850, plus I spent £150 on another 2tb ssd. The cpu runs too hot though (90-100 degrees) even at low loads. It’s unacceptable and not good in the long term. So, I changed the settings to 99% max usage on the cpu, so it wouldn’t turbo-charge to full power. That keeps the temps down and my fps still seem fine.

[@Idontcheatlolaa]

Man, you got a steal in my opinion.

[@vmafarah9473]

just undervolt and keep clocks to 4.4ghz . play on balanced ,no heavy noise.

[@vmafarah9473]

i bought gp66 for additional 10% money, but i think both are worth the money, expecting 25% more performance from 140w 3070, for a 3d visualier its worth the extra money, coz i want this to power 5 years or more.

[@vmafarah9473]

after warrenty period, cut extra holes in bottom cover,15C difference. also lift the back 1 inch above the table to 5-10C difference.

[@StrOyeR-]

Put something below the back or you laptop! (behind) It really helped me! My GPU got a temp decrease of 5-10 and my CPU also a bit but I don't really look at it! Try it out! It may be worth it if you haven't done it yet!

[@manzarelahi1812]

Jesus man, the CPU is getting so hot at 1/4th load lol. I wonder how good the computer is for video editing and other production workflow like you guys said at the beginning...

[@Tennila2]

I'm running my 11400h with 2 disabled cores to reach higher all core turbo frequiencies at 4.3ghz with my overclocked 3060 MSI GF66 katana. The bottom cover is super bad designed since it covers the fan intake. Either take the backcover off or do as I did and cut the plastic off so it can recieve fresh air. I went from 95c to about 75 degrees. Also lift the computer up a bit does a huge difference.

[@thizzobishi]

Interesting choosing to lose cores instead of limiting clock speed or have you done that comparison and found shutting down cores works better?

[@Tennila2]

@@thizzobishi Games usually don't utilize more than 4 cores. Yes I do get higher fps and better frametimes. The CPU uses 15 watts more if all 6 cores is running at max turbo wich increases heat for no extra performance.

[@turboboy0]

when the bottom cover has poor airflow i just drill holes where they are needed and i use small self adhesive hooks from dollar tree to raise the rear of the laptop for better airflow as well. been doing this for years and it works great.

Not personally a fan of the 3050 ti, especially when it is paired with something like the 12700. It is super underpowered for the cpu making the specs rather imbalanced, if they made them with a 12400 it would make more sense. Otherwise it just seems like a cash grab, forcing people to buy more expensive components that they aren't going to be able to utilize.
